Gel Plate Leaf Prints: 3 Designs for Matching Envelope and Card Art

What You Will Learn?

• Coordinate your envelope art with a matching card using fall leaves and a gel plate!.
• Beautiful autumn colors are now brought to life on your outgoing happy mail envelope with simple gel plate prints. Make a matching card and you will have a stationary set that would do well mailed to friends and family, or sold in a craft bazaar!   I cover 3 different gel plate prints that you can mix and match your sets easily!  .
• Use these gel plate techniques:.
• As a collage artist, I am always looking for new materials and creative styling to add to my work.  This leaf print idea was so fun, from the field trip I took and in the application of making the prints, that I wanted to share that experience with you to inspire you to use your gel plate.  I find it fun to experiment as it is the basis to my learning.  And learning, collecting ideas, and thinking of ways to use my materials to share with others is part of who I am!.
• To make this happy mail just go outside and leaf hunt, find your gel plate, grab a couple acrylic paints, a brayer, copy paper, envelopes and cardstock and start playing with your tools.  If you can't find a leaf to use, come to class with a paint brush to draw a leaf shape using the end of your brush!  Gel plate your own leaf art on an envelope and make a coordinating card for fall as your class project..
• Create along with me and then share your happy mail virtually in the class project section. Happy Crafting!.
